Accepting Adversity

Promise:
Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? (Job 2:10)

Prayer:
Yes Lord, I have often heard people say "why me?" I can't help but think "why NOT me?" I am a sinner, I live in a world of sin, and it rains on the just as well as the unjust. But even if adversity comes, You O Lord, have promised to never leave me or forsake me. If the floods come, the water will not overflow me. David said that he went astray before he was afflicted, showing sometimes we must be given the refiners fire to clean away the dross. Refine me, Lord! Wash me! You are the potter, I am but the clay. Yet Your thoughts for me are for good and not for evil. Mold me, Melt me, use me for Your Glory! Amen
